Patented Nov. 24, 1931 UNITED STATES E. WRIGHT, NHL. CALH'OBNIA LUKINOUSFISH LUBE Application fled February 11, 1880. serial Io. {37,588.

My invention relates to improvements in luminous fish lures, and itconsists in the combinations, constructions and arrangements hereinafterdescribed and claimed.

An object of my invention is to provide a luminous fish lure in whichthe luminous paint is protected from the water. To this end I rovide atransparent bod portion which ouses the part of the device carrying theluminous paint.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device of the typedescribed which is extremely simple in construction and which may carryone or more hooks. The

device is buoyant so as to float on the water or it may be s6 weightedas to be submerged a slight distance below the surface of the water. a

Other objects and advantages will appear as the specification roceedsand the novel features of the device will be particularly pointed out inthe claim hereto annexed.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, and A F1 are 2 is alongitudinal section through the evioe.

In carr ing out my invention I provide a rod 1 w ich has an eyelet 2 atone end for receiving a fish line 8 and a threaded portion 4 at theother end for receiving a washer 6 and a nut 8. At the right hand sideof the device as shown in Figure 2 I dis a conical-shaped member 7 thathas a re 8 therein for receiving the rod 1. Next to the member 7 I mounta disc 9, and this disc carries one or more eyelets 10 which in turnsupport fish hooks 11.

Ad i acent to the member 9 I mount a washer 12. he opposite end of thedevice is also provided with a member 18 similar to the member 7, a disc14 similar to the disc 9, and a washer 15 similar to the washer 12. The

disc 14 carries one or more eyelets 16, and

these eyelets carry hooks 17.

Between the washers 12 and 16 I dispose a spool-aha d member 18, andthis 118 provided wit a luminous paint 19 on its exterior surface. Theouter diameter of the spool isslightly less than the diameter of thewasher 12. \A glass cylinder 20 encloses the spool 18 and bears againstthe washers 12 and 15 for sealing the inside of the c linder from water.

If desired, e es 21 may e ainted upon the member 7. T e nut 6 is tigtened for holdingrall of the arts together as a unit.

rom the oregoinfi descri tion of the various parts of the evice, t eoperation thereof may be readil understood.

The device is traile through the water as a bait and the luminous paintshining through the glass 20 will attract fish. This paint may beradiant, phosphorous or other suitable material. The device may be madelight enough to float on the water, or it may be weighted so as tobecome submerged.

Although I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, itis to be understood that the same is susceptible of various changes, andI reserve the right to employ I such chan es as may come within thescope of the invention as claimed.

I claim:

A fish lure comprising a spool covered with a luminous material atransfparent cylinder telescoped over the flanges o the spool,sealinfimembers abutted against the spool flanges an serving as aclosure for the ends of .t e cylinder, and means for securing thesealing members in place, and hooks carried by the secu means.
